Nine Star Burden

you from behind!

Not only did Nostalgia absorb more Star Power and Vitality, but its range was also expanded from the original radius of 20 meters to 40 meters.

Jiang Xiao did not have the chance to find out what kind of changes the upgraded Dawn would have, but he had already received plenty of power.

Panting heavily, Jiang Xiao slowly felt his physical strength recover and increase.
He seemed to have become stronger too, as his pace became more stable.

Of course, that was also because the Ape Ghoul was stuck on the wooden giant sword and not in its normal fighting state.
There was no equal exchange of strikes and a single touch shattered everything.

At this time, Jiang Xiao was just like a vampire in full swing as he activated Nostalgia and manically consumed the Star Power and vitality of the Ape Ghoul.

This Ape Ghoul was probably not stabbed to death by the sword.
It probably died because Jiang Xiao sucked all of its vitality and Star Power…

It’s getting better, everything is improving, the man in me is back!

With a last cry, the look of resentment in the Ape Ghoul’s eyes disappeared without a trace and Jiang Xiao could no longer feel the influx of vitality.

It died so soon?

Why didn’t you persist for a while longer?

Call yourself a man!

Oh, right, you’re an ape.

Jiang Xiao hurriedly tossed the corpse of the Ape Ghoul backward, after which the Ape Ghoul hit another Ape Ghoul that was chasing him.
However, there were groups of howling Ape Ghouls on both sides.

While he was in a hurry, he turned around to look at the Ape Ghouls that were catching up.
Jiang Xiao immediately panicked and slid.

It was not a standard football tackle.
The group of Ape Ghouls could not stop in time and immediately dashed forward, but three of them managed to leap towards Jiang Xiao.
But before they could catch up with him, they were already ripped up in the air.

None of the three Ape Ghouls were willing to give in and continued to attack the other Ape Ghouls rushing forth.

While Jiang Xiao was slide-tackling, his right hand grazed past his waist and he performed some fancy tricks with the dagger before trying to slow himself down by sticking it into the ground.

Whoosh~ whoosh~ whoosh~

The three Ape Ghouls brushed past Jiang Xiao’s body and began ripping each other apart before falling heavily onto the ground and constantly rolling about.

Just as the Ape Ghouls flew over Jiang Xiao’s body, that second felt as long as a century.

Everything seemed to be happening in slow motion.

Jiang Xiao saw the bloody wounds on the Ape Ghouls and the drool dripping in the air.
He could see the brown and black fur flying backward, the beastly and maniacal pair of eyes, and the strong and buff bodies…

Jiang Xiao finally stopped the impact and a part of his clothes was almost tattered and badly torn by the ground.

Still alive?

This operation is over!?!

Who turned off the slow-motion camera?

Jiang Xiao frantically got up.

However, he couldn’t run forward anymore because about a dozen Ape Ghouls laid in between him and the signal flare.
Jiang Xiao had no choice but to return to the route he took.

Is life that boring?

Is learning still boring?

Is work still hectic, arduous, and mundane?

Brothers and sisters, come to the arsenal for an experience.

I, Jiang Xiao, will exchange lives with you!

What are you people waiting for?

Hurry and get someone to smack you on the back of your head…

I’ll exchange lives with you!

Two Jiang Xiaos appeared again, one on the left and one on the right, after which they split up.

After Decoy disrupted the hearing of the Ape Ghouls twice or thrice, only two of them proceeded to chase after the decoys while most of them charged towards Jiang Xiao.

Jiang Xiao was dumbfounded.

What’s going on?

Have they grown? Do they know how to differentiate between real and illusory now?

That can’t be, I…

Jiang Xiao was jolted awake.
The Star Map!

After several times of catching the decoys, the Ape Ghouls could tell which one was the real Jiang Xiao.

Obviously, the one without the Star Map was illusory and would shatter with just one touch!

The Ape Ghouls had some IQ, after all.

Jiang Xiao hurriedly put away his Star Map and cast another illusory figure of himself, after which they split up and ran in different directions again.

This time, the Ape Ghouls seemed to hesitate.

Indeed, the problem was with the Star Map.

There was no Star Map on Jiang Xiao’s decoy while the four star slots that comprised of two gold and two silver were glowing in the internal Star Map of the real Jiang Xiao.

He was not covered in a gilded exterior with big gold chains like a nouveau riche.

The prestigious gold color represented honor!

The hefty silver represented pride!

Seeing the Ape Ghouls run in separate directions, Jiang Xiao felt relieved.
He had already decided to distract and set off a group before using Green Glow reasonably and stabbing them at the right timing.

The thrilling battle continued…
